I know people are really pushing the panic button over this, but they're not going to tinker with a sure-thing like Marvel

Marvel comics does pretty dang well for itself - Disney didn't buy that just so they could ruin it...  they bought it so that they could keep it going and make some sick profit.

It doesn't mean much.

DC Comics has been owned by Warner Brothers for ages and for the most part, it has benefited both parties. I honestly don't see Marvel being owned by Disney to be that different.
